Develops relationships with prospects through conferences, proprietary events, virtual events, and thought leadership audiences. Responsibilities include event research and follow-up, in-person networking, long-term prospect nurturing, CRM documentation, identifying partnership opportunities, and converting relationships into sales-qualified leads for the sales team. The role requires attending approximately 4–8 in-person events annually, with travel roughly once per month.
This role is perfect for someone who lights up walking into a room full of people, a conference reception, a dinner, or a happy hour after an event.
You're a natural networker who remembers names and turns small talk into relationships.
You're not interested in dialing for dollars or cold call quotas. What gets you going is nurturing a prospect for months until the timing is right.
If this sounds like you, Fire&Spark wants to talk. We host a dozen in-person events and 2 dozen virtual events per year, for exactly the buyers we want to reach, and host two virtual events every month. Event attendees trust our thought leadership.
We need someone in the room turning that trust into relationships, and relationships into revenue.
